CONFESSIONS THROUGH A PLAY

I do not own Gakuen Alice.

CHAPTER 1 : I don't want to be partners with this idiot!!

The morning was filled with cool breeze, decorated with pretty pink sakura leaves flowing with it. Cheerful birds chirping happily while flying endlessly to the endless sky. This morning today reminds the crimson eyed guy of someone he loves to bully since they were 10. He was sitting on his usual spot – the good ol' Sakura tree while reading a newly released manga he bought on Central Town. He was lucky he happened to be on the said location. He had bought the "pervertic manga" The amenity the picturesque blue tilted sky shows made the handsome guy's mind filled with lots of thoughts. Just then, a blonde guy blessed by kami (god) with a pair of watery blue eyes approached him.

"Natsume, class is about to start, let's go now." he said as if coming to class late was a grievous mistake. He was holding a bunny on his arms then kneeled down near the raven haired guy.

"The sky is too beautiful to be left just for boring and unproductive class discussions."

"I guess you have a point there." Ruka chuckled. Natsume gave an effortless smile at him.

"But… I believe we don't have any class lectures right now until the next 2 weeks." He stopped chuckling and continued.

" didn't you heard yesterday that we will be having a play for the next 2 weeks that's why later, we will be brainstorming on what story we will be practicing on?" he asked.

"tch, like I care."

Just then, they heard a loud girl running hastily to make it before the bell.

"NO WAY! ANOTHER LATE AND I'LL BE DETENTIONED!! NOT TO MENTION TO BE A CLEANER FOR 2 WHOLE WEEKS! AAAARGH!!! WHY DID GOD HAVE TO GIVE LIFE ON A HEARTLESS TEACHER! I THINK GOD FORGOT TO INSTALL AN UPDATED HEART FOR THAT MONSTER!!!!!!!!!!! She screamed.

Her long auburn hair pony tailed with a pink colored lace was flowing gently on the cool breeze. The lass' cheeks were blushing furiously, her mouth breathing heavily and her big, round, amber eyes was showing the two shocked guys under the sakura trees perturbation.

"Sakura-san!" Ruka shouted on her.

That voice was familiar to her; she knew already who it was. She stopped speeding up but is still jogging in one place while she took a view on the spot where she heard the voice.

"Ah! Ruka-pyon! You're still here? Oh! Natsume too??" she asked making her perplex.

"Why school is about to start is not it? Let's go now together! Hurry up!" she pleaded.

"tch, we don't care, strawberry girl. Natsume retorted.

A throbbed vein appeared on the girl's garden like face and stopped jogging. Natsume smirked. Ruka's sweat dropped and let out a big sigh. The phrenetic girl approached the raven haired guy slowly and was clenching her fist, ready to smack the hell out of him. When she was about to burst out, a loud sound suddenly shocked them most especially the uncivilized-like girl. It was the bell. The raven haired guy expected right. He was on a ludicrous situation he is enduring. He dare not show it, for the result might be even worse.

"Well, looks like you're in a fatal situation now, strawberry girl." He just smirked.

Ruka pitied her. He heard clearly what the consequences the poor lass will get if she will be late again.

"Sakura-san I-"he started, but Natsume patted his back and said, "Don't worry, it's fine, geez."

"What it's fine??!! How can it be fine!!?? I'm going to get detention and be a cleaner-

"- for two whole weeks, I know." He continued then walk past by the auburn eyed girl showing no emotion nor regret on what he had done and said.

"You're so mean. You're the worst" She cried. Her eyes were almost showing a sign of tears, her cheeks blushing and her carnation pink lips pouting.

"Don't be too frank on your words strawberry girl, the monstrous teacher you're cursing awhile ago is not around. You won't get detention or what." Natsume then clarified. He was a bit disappointed on what Mikan said to him, but he can't blame her, he, too, thinks he is mean.

"Eh….?" Mikan was dumbfounded. "Really?"

"How did you know, Natsume?" Ruka asked with curiosity. It was unusual after all that the teacher would be absent.

"None of your business" Natsume's eyes hid on his bangs. He started walking going to the entrance of the middle school. He doesn't want to cloud his mind with what had happened last night again. Now isn't the time to be thinking about that.

A sudden change of mood of the crimson eyed guy gave a signal to Mikan that something wrong happened. She IS mad at him, but she doesn't want him to be mad or whatever that would make himself drowning on a swamp of problems he didn't want to rise from the start. "He is suffering more than enough" Mikan thought. But then, she halted herself. "Waittaminute! Suddenly…me…like this…to him…AAARRGGHH!!" she punched her mind with both of her hands.

"BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!! AHO! AHO! AHO!!!" she continued.

"Sakura-san? Are you alright?" Ruka was perplexed.

"tch, really an idiot." He looked at her.

He was not smiling or what but she can feel that she had made his worries fade just by looking at his face that traces no emotion. She was sure. (huwaw! How did she knew it?! Hahah!) " Ah, whatever! Just make him cheer up! Just extract his worries! You just want him to be happy, so do it!" her idiotic mind demanded the satisfied owner. "I may not be installed with the finest brain, but I guarantee that my heart is programmed with the finest qualities and all." She thought then chuckled to herself.

Ruka was even more perplexed than usual. Even his bunny was feeling the same emotion. Both of their left eyebrows were raised up while the other was twitched hard. (gahd! I hope you can visualize it in your mind! Hahah!) After they looked at the confusing girl, they looked at each other, still showing the same emotion.

"Natsume! Wait for us! You pervert! " she ran towards him and pouted at the same guy.

The fire caster looked at her with blank expression.

"what the hell is your problem now strawberry girl?"

"How did you saw my underwear, you pervert?" she asked, still pouting. But her pout wasn't something to be nervous of, in fact, it's cute and irresistible! Natsume thinks but couldn't tell it to her. He is still wearing the same blank expression. (that's Natsume!)

"tch…" he decided to smirk, then his orbs looked at the other side, but still, stealing glances on the girl who smiled at him, making him blush. He stopped without thinking then burned the pink colored lace Mikan's hair was wearing. Mikan was shocked!

"My lace! What the! Natsume o aho! What'd you do that for!??? " she cried. Then, her hair fell and rode by with the wind along with pink sakura leaves dancing gracefully with it.

"Let your hair down sometimes, strawberry girl. Your hair is already suffocating!" Natsume retorted.

"Na-!"

"It looks better that way also." He, at last, was able to say. Gosh! He gathered all his fortitude just to say that! (that cannot be Natsume! But sadly…He is. )

The auburn eyed lass blushed in an instant!

"Uh…I didn't asked for your opinion or what…" she hesitated on her feelings.

She looked down, still, blushing hard. "What the hell is that for…?" she thought.

"Oi, Ruka, let's go. You, strawberry girl. What, you got a stiff neck or something? Let's go now." Natsume blankly said.

Mikan's head released train like steam.

"Oh so now you think you're an autocrat or something. Tch, really stupid." She babbled.

"Whatever."

in the classroom

"Okay, class! Now is the time! The time to show to the world what wonderful talents we possess not just our alices and irresistible beauty!" Narumi sensei gave an introductory to his class, wearing a cinderella-like gown made with silk and adorned with shiny, cute ornaments. His hair being tied with a blue colored ribbon with matching clips.

"Oh puh-lease…" Hotaru sighed, sweat dropped in her head.

"So, as I've told you yesterday, for the academy's spring break festival, our class is assigned to present a play for our dear valued guests! But before brainstorming on what we shall present to them, a while ago, Imai Hotaru requested who the two main characters would be. "

Everyone's forehead was suddenly stroked by purplish lines, their facial expression turned much sour.

Hotaru felt the sudden change of their expressions.

"What, you got a problem with that?" she catachised them, with cadaverous stares making them aghast.

"Of course! Yeah! Imai san just wants to ameliorate our play, right?" everyone all agreed, smiling and laughing nervously.

"Then, it's all settled. Narumi sensei."

"Ah,, hahah! Yeah yeah!" even the blonde guy agreed with no hesitation.

"Okay, let's continue, everyone… So, it was decided that the two who will act as the princess and the prince would be…."

Just then, they heard a belligerent conversation coming from the outside of their classroom, getting louder and clearer.

"Natsume o aho! You shouldn't had have done that!" someone said angrily.

Then they entered the classroom and Narumi continued his sentence.

"…Sakura Mikan as the princess and Hyuuga Natsume as the prince!" he ended.

Everyone was shocked to hear that. Hotaru, eating blueberry tart, stared at them showing no emotion.

The carmine and cairngorm eyed couple was puzzled.

"What does that bastard meant when he said that me as a prince and this boisterous idiot as a princess?" Natsume was trying to find the pieces in the puzzle while Mikan already got the message.

"NO WAY! I DON'T WANT TO BE PARTNERS WITH THIS---IDIOT!"
